3. Feelings of Nothingness
Fate just continued on like he was used to everything that was going on.
"Alright irregular let's hear your side on the events."Fate shifts the center of attention back to me.
"I guess I'm dead right?" I ask just to triple check at this point. I can't tell if I'm delusional at this point. Just the other day I fell for a internet scammer so at this point in my life it can't get lower right?
"That is a certainty. Yes." Fate replies in a monotone voice.
"Well then…." I recount my recent memories of the sequence of events to Fate as best as I can describe them. As I recount my story Calliope Mori flinches before acting nonchalant and whistling to herself. She even avoids eye contact with either of us. Fate just listens to my recollection of the events while ignoring everything else that's happening. At the end he takes a sharp breath in before speaking.
"Well then! It sounds to me that Miss Mori is abusing her position. What do you think Mr. Death? I believe a punishment is in order, don't you agree?"
The atmosphere in the void all of a sudden changes. The temperature drops rapidly as a gravelly voice echoes in the surrounding. I feel as if my soul would dissipate into nothingness just from the sound of his voice as the Grim Reaper says.
"I don't really care about what's going on here. Just wrap it up quickly and stop slacking off." Death responds dryly.
"Alright, that I can do. Miss Mori your punishment shall be.." Fate starts to speak but get interrupted by Death.
"Wait.. Why not make everything a little more interesting? It's not very often we see irregularities? Or at least I'm aware of.. not that I really give a sh**" Death rudely remarks.
I just look at the ground in defeat about the atmosphere I'm currently finding myself in. Fate coughs gathering everyones attention before continuing.
"Interesting you say? Alright how about a fight to the 'death'?" Everybody starts to chuckle except me.. All I can muster is a slight frown as I know how royally boned I am in this sort of situation. Fate starts his explanation again after a short pause. "But first why don't we give this… 'Ghost' some time to get accustomed to his newfound powers before we start the match."
My eyes widen as I hear what Fate just said. I start to ponder on his words newfound powers. I decide to sit in meditation not closing my eyes because I don't fully trust the situation I find myself in. I start to zone out, everything around me is cut out from my brains processing power. This includes my vision as my consciousness begins to fade out…
